The statement given in the question is FALSE.
Ecological Succession refers to the change in the specie structure of an ecosystem over a long period of time. There are two types of succession, primary and secondary succession. A primary success is said to occur when an ecosystem is totally destroyed to the extent that even the soil is wipe out. In this case, the ecosystem development has to start from the scratch. A succession is said to secondary if only part of the ecosystem is destroyed.
Answer: A,C,D,E are correct statements of an inductor
A. When an inductor and a resistor are connected in series with a DC battery, the current in the circuit is reduced to zero in one time constant.
C. An inductor always resists any change in the current through it.
D. When it is connected in a circuit, an inductor always resists having current flow through it.
E. Inductors store energy by building up charge.
Answer: thermal conductivity
Answer:
1. 2.67 s
2. 0.1 m/s²
Explanation:
1. Determination of the time taken for the penguin to fall.
Height (h) of cliff = 35 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) =?
h = ½gt²
35 = ½ × 9.8 × t²
35 = 4.9 × t²
Divide both side by 4.9
t² = 35 / 4.9
Take the square root of both side
t = √(35 / 4.9)
t = 2.67 s
Thus, it will take 2.67 s for the penguin to fall onto the head of a napping polar bear.
2. Determination of the acceleration of the penguin.
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s.
Final velocity (v) = 2 m/s.
Time (t) = 20 s
Acceleration (a) =?
a = (v – u)/t
a = (2 – 0)/ 20
a = 2 / 20
a = 0.1 m/s²
Thus, the acceleration of the penguin is 0.1 m/s²
